Another Chance
To my beloved dog, Rocky:
What I only wished for most was
another chance to see your glance
another chance to see your dance
as I walked in that door.
You came into my life when we
were both young and healthy
we were learning together it was
going to be a great life for us.
Life threw me many harsh twists
and turns so I was incapable of
noticing what you were requiring
because I was struggling too.
I didn’t recognize the severity or
the frailty that came over you
though you tried to show me many
times with your expressive eyes.
Then you lost your ability to walk
and I began to talk; I told you I loved
you I tried to take better care of you
but I was belated in doing so.
I failed my loyal companion and it was an
irreplaceable love lost when I arrived home
too late that somber day I watched you take
your last breaths and then you went to death.
With the unfathomable pain of
losing my beloved dog, Rocky
I cry out everyday God
Please Another Chance!
